Um Tae-goo, who plays Seo Ji-hwan in JTBC's Wednesday-Thursday drama "My Sweet Mobster" is creating a different determined romantic comedy with an unconventional image transformation.

Um Tae-goo's heavy bass and charisma, which have been uniquely brilliant in the genre, have been well harmonized with Seo Ji-hwan's character in the drama, leading to a heated response.

Seo Ji-hwan, not Um Tae-goo, is showing fantastic character digestibility.

On top of that, Um Tae-goo's detailed performance of Seo Ji-hwan, who has never met a woman for 36 years, shows he has been mesmerized by Go Eun-ha.

He added a sense of immersion by depicting gradually turning emotions into liking, which begins with the curiosity, "Who is she?".

In particular, Seo Ji-hwan's feeling of shame alone after lying in the same bed with Go Eun-ha due to an unexpected incident caused laughter. Um Tae-goo's acting, which expresses Seo Ji-hwan's confused emotion, which has been the most stimulating in his 36-year life, added to the fun of watching.

Seo Ji-hwan's character was also felt in various aspects when he was desperately broken but did not lose the charisma of the company's representative.

He showed great leadership by suggesting a company dinner to encourage employees who have suffered for a long time under the scorching sun while harshly reprimanding them for fighting with passers-by while promoting their products.

While giving new opportunities to those who have committed crimes, he drew clear lines from ordinary people and continued to reflect on his past sins.

In addition, Seo Ji-hwan's sincere apology for misunderstanding another person reflects his deep thoughts. Um Tae-goo's acting with eyes that showed Seo Ji-hwan's pure and sweet heart hidden under the rough exterior caused admiration.

As such, Um Tae-goo is successfully continuing his romantic comedy challenge by showing various faces of Seo Ji-hwan's character, who just met the first person he's liked in his life.

Above all, as all of Seo Ji-hwan's true face has not yet been revealed, it is expected that Um Tae-goo will play a role in sincerely portraying his true value to be revealed in the future.

The third episode of "My Sweet Mobster" will air at 8:50 PM on the 19th.
